Project description DEENESFRITPL Novel additive manufacturing and joint approaches for large curved aircraft structures Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are in continuous development for many applications in the aerospace sector. New research in materials spurs acceleration in the development of manufacturing technologies that can harness them. The EU-funded RIB-AM project is developing novel AM technologies and joints processes applicable to large parts belonging to aircrafts primary structures with high curvature, such as leading edges. Approaches include automatic fibre placement using thermoplastic resins, AM with short fibre-reinforced thermoplastics and new joining processes based on inductive welding and metal to composites bonding. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective RIB-AM project will contribute to the CleanSky 2 objectives with the development of novel manufacturing technologies applied large size components belonging to the primary structure of aircrafts. Within this set of manufacturing techniques stand out the Automatic Fibre Placement (AFP) using thermoplastic resins, the innovative additive manufacturing process with short-fibre reinforce thermoplastic materials or the new methodology for components joining based on inductive welding technology.
